Every team is required to provide a volunteer in order to start the race. (Not required for solo runner.) Volunteers are crucial to the safety, as well as the joy, of the Gorgeous Hood to Hood Relay. There are two ways for teams to meet their volunteer requirement: ​​

Recruit a volunteer from your teams' friends/family/etc. Teams have until May 19 to recruit a volunteer. (Teams registering after 5/19/19 should have their volunteer information ready with registration.)

A limited number of teams may Sponsora volunteer via a $100 contribution to the Mazamas.

Recruit a volunteer

Race volunteers generally have at least as much fun as the runners! Teams should recruit a volunteer who:

Will be available on June 9 for 5 hours or less (plus drive time) between 6:00 am-6:00pm;

Is 18 years old or older;

Can get themselves to their volunteer assignment. Some assignments may be in two locations, and require driving in between; and,

Can stand for all or most of the volunteer time.

Volunteers are stationed either at an Exchange to direct vans and runners, on course to direct runners, or at the start or finish for set-up, operations, and take-down. (Unfortunately, they are not suitable for bringing children.)

Volunteers are invited and encouraged to join us for the celebration at the finish party, and enjoy a free beer!

Three weeks before the race, they'll be sent a link to a form where they can select their own position and sign the Volunteer Release.​​
